Hi, my friend had her chihuahua stolen nearly 4 weeks ago,the latest is a lady who says she is from Nottingham says she thinks she has her.Please read all especially the update nottingham part at the end,any help cross posting and keeping eyes open would be much appreciated.Thankyou!

MY friends dog has been stolen from outside the Factory Shop in Ben Rhydding near Ilkley, West Yorkshire.

Her name is Roxy and she's a 4-year-old chihuahua with very distinctive colouring. She is chocolate and tan, with a white chest. This kind of colouring is very rare - you would know if you saw her. She has been spayed, which makes her of no value to breeders or anybody wanting to sell her.

Roxy is not lost - she has been taken, and we need to find her quickly. She'll be very frightened and desperate to come home.

If you've seen her - or even think you've seen her - please contact us straight away.

Substantial reward offered for her safe return.

Update

We've been passed some new information on the whereabouts of Roxy, who was stolen three weeks ago from Ben Rhydding, near Ilkley, West Yorkshire.

It is suspected that Roxy was stolen to sell, and was passed on to a couple - a man with dark hair, and a lady with fair hair. This couple are setting up a business in stolen dogs, possibly to breed them, and have a number of stolen dogs in their possession.

It is most important that people are made aware that Roxy cannot be bred from - she is spayed, which means she cannot have puppies.

The information we have suggests that Roxy is still in the local area. Do you know anybody in West Yorkshire that you could invite to the group, who may in turn have a friend in Ilkley? Please keep inviting your friends from all over the UK, but especially if they are close to Leeds/Bradford.

We need to find this couple before they find out that Roxy is useless to them and she's moved on again - please help get the word out!

URGENT APPEAL - Nottingham area?

We took a call last night from someone in the Nottingham area who bought a Chihuahua for her daughter on Sunday evening - a Chihuahua she now thinks is Roxy. While she hadn't seen this group or heard about Roxy, one of her friends told her about it. The dog's description matches the description of Roxy perfectly, right down to the small bald patch on her neck. We're pretty sure it's her.

We were told she would take a picture of the Chihuahua she bought and send it to us in a picture message so we could confirm whether or not it was Roxy - and no picture ever arrived.

She said she didn't want to call in the first place, so maybe she had second thoughts. Picture messages can also be quite unreliable; perhaps one was sent but just didn't reach us. The caller phoned using a withheld number - so we can't get in touch.

Do you know who she is? Have you seen Roxy?

We are Roxy's family. We have raised her from a 7-week puppy to a 4-year-old dog and we love her like she was our baby. We are desperate to have her home and have spent four weeks trying to track her down. Please, if you know anything about her whereabouts, just get in touch.
